Miller 1.2-C R.3 1787 MBR “mutton head” W-2720
1787 Connecticut Copper. Miller 11.2-K, W-2875. Rarity-2. Mailed Bust Left. 157.9 grains. A pleasing, golden brown example of this common die marriage, with some minor planchet flecks that do not interfere with the bold strike and overall positive visual appeal. Housed in an PCGS EF-40 encapsulation (PCGS tag included) for this coin’s last auction appearance, a series of 4 small punch marks at truncation of the bust have earned this coin a “Devices Engraved” moniker from PCGS. We believe that these 4 marks, seemingly made by a gang punch, might be an old collector’s mark, much like the famous “D” punch in the cloud of the Dexter-Dunham 1804 Dollar that is also known on a 1797 $10 gold piece. The Miller 1.1-A from the Twin Leaf Collection also had three small, deliberate punch marks between the upper exergual line and the globe that are similar to the punches on this 11.2-K. A fascinating coin deserving of further study. From the Robert M. Martin Collection Provenance: From the Robert M. Martin Collection. From our sale of October 29, 2014, lot 6122; Heritage’s sale of February 26, 2015, lot 1218. PCGS #349 and #686418.
